Calling the police would not be an appropriate response in this situation as the employee is simply agitated and upset. It is important to maintain a calm demeanor, acknowledge the employee's concerns and try to find a resolution for the issue at hand. Alerting company security to stand by may be a reasonable precaution, but only if the employee's behavior presents a risk to others in the workplace. Asking open-ended questions allows the employee to express their concerns and provides an opportunity to find a solution.
